A D-region conductivity model from EISCAT VHF measurements

International audience An easy-to-use model to evaluate conductivities at high and middle latitudes in the height range 70?100 km is presented. It is based on electron density profiles obtained with the EISCAT VHF radar during 11 years and on the neutral atmospheric model MSIS95. The model uses sola...

Description
Summary:International audience An easy-to-use model to evaluate conductivities at high and middle latitudes in the height range 70?100 km is presented. It is based on electron density profiles obtained with the EISCAT VHF radar during 11 years and on the neutral atmospheric model MSIS95. The model uses solar zenith angle, geomagnetic activity and season as input parameters. It was mainly constructed to study the properties of Schumann resonances that depend on such conductivity profiles.
